Oh Janet - that is so sweet!! It just goes to show he has been raised in a family that loves and cares for him but more important, truly listens to his thoughts and feelings! As a parent, I constantly worry on whether I'm doing the best job I possibly can with my 2 boys - have I taught them enough about respect, kindness towards other, loving oneself in addition to loving others, etc. Although they "slip" at times around the house, I've never seen my boys be disrepectful or unkind to another - nor has word gotten back that they've acted in a manner other than how they were raised. My boys don't go to bed unless they've come to give me a hug and a kiss - they've even gotten out of bed and come to find me if they realize they went to bed with out their hug and kiss - and "I love you" all around

Now, do like Kimberly said - when he gets home, give him a big hug and kiss and never let him know you read the essay

Janet, that is just beautiful! I agree with Kimberley, don't let him know you read his essay, but maybe do something extra-special for him since you know he's such a fantastic son! Maybe make him his favorite dinner.
